Reborn as an Oil Tycoon

Chapter 500

For Liu Shang's upcoming trip to the United States, Yuan Hui, Li Huaiyuan and others asked for purchasing agents.

Guan Tu asked Liu Shang to get more advanced laboratory instruments and equipment from the United States.

As for Song Jia, she told him coldly, remember to fix the nba betting method in the United States.

This year's nba finals have already been played, and Liu Shang has been busy all day and has not fulfilled his promise.

Don't delay her betting on the Lakers' three consecutive championships that she is looking forward to next season.

In the end, she reluctantly told her to be safe and come back soon!

……

Liu Shang and Jiang Ruolin's trip to the United States went very smoothly.

After their team arrived there, they split into two groups.

The team formed by Pan Hong, Yang Jichao and others began to meet and negotiate with some local oil companies in the United States according to the prior contacts.

In fact, Liu Shang and his group came this time, and the money and purpose they brought were a bit embarrassing.

Liu Shang's goal is to wholly acquire a technically capable oilfield services company.

To instantly improve the technical ability and level of Slim Oil.

However, those companies that really have their own core technology, Baker Hughes with the least assets, must be at least 60 billion US dollars.

The US$10 billion brought by Liu Shang is far from enough.

And small companies like those ranked lower can't spend so much money at all.

At the same time, they don't have too advanced technology in their hands.

After buying it, there is only an empty shell left, which doesn't make much sense.

On the other side, Liu Shang accompanied Jiang Ruolin to play while completing the bachelor's final exams of Harvard Business School and Stanford.

I have to say that Jiang Ruolin's intelligence and learning ability really make Liu Shang love to death.

Really too strong.

Even though she is usually so busy and manages so many affairs of the Liao Group, she can successfully complete her studies at Harvard and Stanford.

In China, many people believe that American education is "humanized".

The educational methods and concepts are "people-oriented", allowing students to play and learn at the same time without pain at all. Students have many extracurricular hobbies.

In a word, they are quality education, and we are exam-oriented education.

Americans don't like to study, and here we can become kings if we go alone.

But when you get here, it's all bullshit.

In essence, American higher education is very serious and cruel!
In the United States, homework in college is graded.

Each homework will give you a score according to right or wrong, record the grade, and finally calculate the final total grade together with all the usual exams and final exams.

In our school, you are usually allowed to make mistakes, you are allowed to not, you can be empty, listen to the teacher, and do it in the final exam.

Success or failure is judged by exams.

But it is different in the United States. The teacher will leave a lot of homework for you every week.

You have to hand it in before class next week. If you can't do it, you have to ask the teacher yourself before handing in the homework.

If you haven't asked the teacher when you hand in your homework, because you can't do it or make a mistake, then you have to bear the responsibility.

The teacher won't be merciful just because you really can't, and your homework will be deducted.

The teacher will record each homework, and will give you a total score at the end.

For a normal undergraduate student in the United States, the first midterm exam accounts for 20%, the second midterm exam accounts for 20%, the final exam accounts for 20%, and the usual homework accounts for 40%.

The final total score will be graded according to ABCD, 90-100 will be rated as A, 80-90 will be rated as B, 70-80C, and below 70 will fail.

The graduation grades of undergraduate students require that the average score of each semester should not be lower than c, otherwise they will be expelled.

That is to say, the passing score of undergraduate students is above 70 on average.

And all these usual grades will be converted into a total grade that will stay with you for a lifetime.

When looking for a job, the employer will ask you to show all the usual grades of higher education, so you can never be sloppy, including homework.

So with this kind of physique, do you want to relax at ordinary times?
That is impossible.

After Jiang Ruolin came to the United States this time, she really saw the schools and students here, which also caused a huge contrast in the flow of impressions.

In her words, before coming to the United States, she was always misled by American youth comedies.

The movies are all about how they don't study and how they are mischievous, so that students in our country also start to learn and imitate.

But I never expected that American college life is actually like this:
In every campus, students rush to class with their schoolbags on their backs, and there are no hippies.

The students in the library are all quietly studying by themselves. The computer room in the library is used by the students to do their homework, and no one is busy.

Even while waiting for the bus, I was still reading.

In the coffee shop, American students were either reading books or doing homework on the computer. It was very quiet and no one made any loud noises.

The real campus life in the United States is a gathering place for our ideal "student masters".

And us?

Under the night, there are couples sharing a good time.

The Internet cafe is brightly lit.

……

One month after Liu Shang and Jiang Ruolin arrived in the United States.

Liu Shang and the others had a smooth time here, and they had a lot of fun.

But Pan Hong and Yang Jichao encountered various problems.

At first, it was the other party, Lion, who opened his mouth and demanded a lot of money, wanting to kill Guanglun Group fiercely.

But as Liu Shang sharply pointed out their background, after more than 20 days of fierce negotiations.

They finally lowered the purchase price to a reasonable range.

At this time, when the fog outside the core purpose of both sides was almost peeled off, Liu Shang finally wanted to make a move.

This oil company ranks in the top 40 or so in the United States.

Liu Shang estimated the purchase price to be around US$6 million.

In terms of core technology, it must be incomparable with giants like Halliburton and Baker Hughes.

But it can be regarded as unsatisfactory, they are still superior in drilling tools.

If they are successfully acquired, it will have a great effect on the promotion of Slim Oil in China, especially in the field of drilling.

This is why Liu Shang finally chose them.

After Liu Shang, the boss of the American Petroleum Association, Huaguo Company, personally stepped in.

Negotiations are progressing very quickly.

It only took two days, and the content of their negotiations was basically settled.

The final purchase price is around $6.4 million.

Once the real acquisition of this company, Liu Shang's overseas expansion plan can be carried out smoothly.

At that time, this company will no longer have the shadow of Huaguo zf, and will be able to conduct business in various countries around the world.

But at this moment, the problem that Liu Shang was most worried about still appeared!
